There are several reasons why the covers may not be showing up -- there
is no ISBN in your MARC record or the ISBN in your MARC record does not match
an ISBN in the place where Destiny is getting the thumbnails. This can happen because you have a different
edition - sometimes you get a picture but it is not the picture that is on the cover
of your book - there are more than 1 ISBN number in the record and the one used
is not yours.

The GMDs “globe” and “map” have both been replaced by “cartographic material,” (i.e., “globe” and “map” are no longer acceptable GMDs).
The GMD “computer file” has been replaced by “electronic resource”.
440-Obsolete
There seems to be much confusion about the cataloguing of series.
As of June 2006, the Library of Congress no longer authorizes series statements.
However, most cataloguing agencies (including mine) continue to use/create them.
The 440 tag was made obsolete in December 2008.
The series statement as it appears on the item is entered in a 490 tag.
The authorized form of the series statement is entered in a 8xx tag. Never use a 490 tag without also using a corresponding 8xx tag

526-Reading level
From: "Allison G. Kaplan" <agkaplan@wisc.edu
Date: October 26, 2009 9:57:13 PM CDT
For those of you who took cataloging after 2003, you
may recall a MARC tag #526, the Study Program Information note. This
tag can be repeated and used for noting the reading level based on
Accelerated Reader, Lexile, or any other kind of reading program. So
the book doesn't have to have a blue dot, it doesn't have to have the
information inside of it, it doesn't have to be shelved in reading
level order instead of subject order. It's an easy tag to use and most
automated systems now allow for searching the 5XX tags (but you will
need to check if they search beyond the first level of the tag).
What I see all too often is the use of the following two genre headings in the same record !
655 7 $aNon-fiction films.$2lcsh
655 7 $aFeature films.$2lcsh
These are direct opposites! The non-fiction film is NOT a feature film, rather it is a non-feature.
